Error description
An upgrade to Spectrum Control 5.2.9 (e.g. from 5.2.5 or 5.2.6) fails when WAS WebServer is configured with LDAP using anonymous bind (so bind DN and password are empty in WAS admin console when LDAP entry was defined). Current TPC implementation does not support LDAP anonymous bind at TPC upgrade time when trying to import the ldap configuration In the latest lax-out log and traceTPCInstall.log there is something like: [echo] File "C:/Program Files/IBM/TPC/web/scripts/commonWASAuthFunctions.py", line 636, in getCmdParamsSpecificForAddIdMgrLDAPServer 2016-04-18 04:55:18.283-0700 INFO File "C:/Program Files/IBM/TPC/web/scripts/commonWASAuthFunctions.py", line 636, in getCmdParamsSpecificForAddIdMgrLDAPServer [echo] if paramsDict['bindDN'].find('"') < 0: 2016-04-18 04:55:18.283-0700 INFO if paramsDict['bindDN'].find('"') < 0: [echo] KeyError: bindDN 2016-04-18 04:55:18.283-0700 INFO KeyError: bindDN 2016-04-18 04:55:18.283-0700 ERROR com.ibm.tpc.install.frontend.ia.actions.StatusUpdater targetFinished org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException BPCIN0004E An error occurred during the installation of the Web-based GUI component.
